# Delete a Row

Catalyst iOS SDK enables you to delete a single row from a specific [Data Store](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/data-store/introduction) table. However, you will not be able to delete multiple rows at a time.

You can delete a row from a table in any of these two methods:

### Delete a Row by passing the Row ID to the Table Instance

You can delete a row from a table by passing the ROWID of the row as the argument to the `deleteRow()` method, as shown in the code syntax below.

The `<DATA_STORE_INSTANCE>` used in the code syntax below is the instance defined in the [Data Store Instance page](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/ios/v2/cloud-scale/data-store/create-data-store-instance/).

```bash
<DATA_STORE_INSTANCE>.deleteRow( id : Int64, completion : @escaping( ZCatalystError? ) -> Void )
```

**Parameters**:

* `id`: The [unique ROWID](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/data-store/records/#create-a-new-record) of the row to be deleted.
* `completion`: If the operation is successful, the completion block will return the details of the deleted row. Else, it will return an error.

A sample code snippet is shown below:

```bash
ZCatalystApp.shared.getDataStoreInstance(tableIdentifier: "1096000000002071").deleteRow(id: 3376000000171021){( error ) in
//Replace this with your ROWID
if let error = error{
  	print( "Error occurred >>> \( error )" )
 	}
	else {
	  print("Row is successfully deleted.")
	 }
}

```

### Delete a Row by passing the Row Instance

You can delete a row from a table simply by calling the `delete()` method for the row instance.

The `<ROW_INSTANCE>` used in the code syntax below is the instance defined in the [Row Instance page](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/ios/v2/cloud-scale/data-store/create-new-row-instance).

```bash
<ROW_INSTANCE>.delete(completion: @escaping( ZCatalystError? ) -> Void)
```

**Parameters**:

* `completion`: If the operation is successful, the completion block will return the details of the deleted rows. Else, it will return an error.

A sample code snippet is shown below:

```bash

ZCatalystApp.shared.getDataStoreInstance().getTableInstance(id: 1096000000002071).getRow(id: 3376000000171021){(result)in
//Replace this with your ROWID
	switch result	{
	  case .success ( let row) :
	   row.delete() {( error ) in
    	if let error = error{
	     print( "Error occurred >>> \( error )" )
    	}
    	else {
	     print("Row is successfully deleted.")
   	}
	  }
  	case .error(let error) :
	   print("Error occurred >>> \( error )")
 	}
}

```
